As long as the story isn’t cringeworthy then I can’t imagine I’ll give much of a shit. Just make sure the game is good, I couldn’t care less about the writing in those games.
It's Sa'am!
Is murdering the E, the S, or the G?
Its the "2000's" best defense for criticism... the already old "it was not what you wanted but you dont tell them what to do, just buy it and shut up!" , you see it in movies, tv shows and now games ....this freaking generation of buy product, consume product and be excited for next productThis is the mentality we all need to have when it comes to reboots of old franchises. Just because a developer or publisher bears the same name, it doesn't mean anything 20 years later.
I'd rather Splinter Cell as an IP die and have a new franchise that has a similar espionage style and real world geopolitical narrative than for some dev team with "fresh ideas" destroy Sam Fisher and his legacy.
Fucking bagtallia started this modern audience horsecrap
Underrated post.It's Sa'am!
Sam Sexchange Fisher
Because both game were not great. Especially Conviction was bad. Nice Action shooter but nothing like Splinter CellI literally hate Splinter Cell fans. Just shit endlessly on Conviction and Blacklist until the series died. Years later with heads removed from their asses they realized those games were pretty great.
But of course let the shitting begin again. You were all such geniuses to get through Chaos Theory. The NSA should have hired you after beating the game so that your pure stealth standards could be put to use defending the country. We don't even know what the new game is yet but let's hate it so that our chubby from beating Chaos Theory 20 years ago can stay forever partially hard in our hearts. Amen.
From what I see browsing the human swamp that is the Internet it's almost always white kids from rather well-off families studying liberal arts that have time for they/them. Black people are too busy dealing with things like poverty or the police.So Sam Fisher will be probably black man who struggles with his gender, right?
The new lead for Splinter Cell.
modern audiences
I don't think having a female lead instead of a male is the actual problem, it's all the other woke bullshit that comes along with it that's crippling the games. We have had female leads in major franchises for decades, Metroid, Resident Evil, Ms Pacman to name a few. Gamers are accepting female characters on the whole, it's then when they shoe horn in some shitty backstory that hits as many diversity tick boxes as they can for no good reason. Kids growing up nowadays feel they are in the wrong if they are just an average straight kid and are actively making stuff up about themselves to fit in. The media reinforces this too. This woke movement was started to help kids to find their own place but if anything it's made the world even more confusing than it ever was for a much larger percentage of people.Saw the title, imagined that many replies would be about gender, entered the thread, was not disappointed.
Personally I enjoy female protagonists. Currently replaying DMC5 and wish they let us play as Lady or Trish . Literally a cast of 4 playable characters, all male, why Capcom? Lady with her bazookas would have been awesome.
You can't really believe that. It was and is a vehicle to usurp power based on identity politics. The leaders of it couldn't give two shits about kids or anyone else they claim to represent.This woke movement was started to help kids to find their own place
I do believe it was started with good intentions to make things better but was hijacked.You can't really believe that. It was and is a vehicle to usurp power based on identity politics. The leaders of it couldn't give two shits about kids or anyone else they claim to represent.
What's a woman? Are you some sort of biologist or something?I guess Sam Fisher transforms into a woman now.
This.The "modern audiences" audience won't buy this because it glorifies the military-industrial complex, man. Don't you know calling in the police or the military automatically makes everything worse, bro? Everyone would be so much better off without them, dude, because everybody everywhere would just act right out of the goodness of their hearts and no one at all would voluntarily elect to be jerk, you fascist.
The term was about african americans and used by them. Weirdly enough using woke for anything other than racism and social injustice against them is practically saying "all lives matter" on a "black lives matter" event, which I presume would trigger many "modern" woke people.This woke movement was started to help kids to find their own place.

There is definitely a correlation between the amount of woke stuff they put in the games these days and the amount that pushing those agendas adversely affects sales. If your game is about stealthily infiltrating a base and silently killing as many terrorists as you can get away with without setting off the alarm then that kind of game is naturally going to appeal to a particular type of person and unless you lean into that then your game is not going to sell.
always just liked the gameplay and even that was always behind MGS.
No way! Thanks!
Stealth gsmeplay was way better than MGS, whatchu on about??? Far more realistic and tactical than hiding behind a wall until the enemy walks somewhere else.
MGS3 was when it became comparable but by then chaos theory was a thing which blew it out of the water.
You play MGS for the story and splinter cell for the gameplay. Ideally I'd like both to be good
